Authentique café italien avec un décor qui n'a probablement pas changé d'un poil depuis les années 1950. Accueil sympathique & excellent espresso.

Passage obligatoire dans ce café authentique à chaque fois que je vais dans la Petite Italie. Une bonne ambiance de café de quartier avec un personnel chaleureux. Il existe beaucoup de cafés à Montréal, mais d'aussi bons, c'est rare !

Recommandations : espresso & caffe di crema

Quel bel endroit pour faire une pause. Je suis passé récemment & j'ai vraiment apprécié l'ambiance authentique qui règne ici.

Le sandwich était délicieux avec son pain croustillant & ses ingrédients frais, mais le clou du spectacle a été le café. La tasse porte fièrement l'inscription Caffe Italia 1956 & la présentation était parfaite.

Je suis reparti comblé par la qualité de ce que j'ai goûté. C'est une adresse incontournable pour ceux qui recherchent une expérience simple & savoureuse sur Saint-Laurent.

Caffè Italia!
Come have a café with the locals in Little Italy. Slow down & breathe & enjoy the wonderful community of Montreal. Barista Paolo is a wonderful human & gives you a warm welcome at the Caffè.

Exquisito café ☕ de los mejores que he probado, los que llevan crema realmente son muy cremosos y no necesitan azúcar. También venden panini exquisito con ingredientes frescos

Un café italien d'exception ! Le service est à la fois courtois & très agréable. Un petit conseil : allez-y tôt le matin pour éviter la foule & profiter pleinement d'une belle expérience en toute sérénité. Une adresse incontournable du quartier.
